Pictures of the moment

[hummingwolf]

While looking online for photos of the petunias I was tempted by yesterday, I realized that the pot in which I saw the Phantom label also included Black Velvet petunias. This page currently has pictures of both petunias as well as Pinstripe petunias. I am amused by the fact that such gothy flowers need plenty of sun.

Anyway, you need to see this picture: Black Velvet Petunia at the North Carolina Arboretum. If I had a flickr account, that photo would be favorited instantly. Of course, then I'd have to favorite about half of these fennec photos, because it's almost impossible to find anything more adorable than a fennec.

Those flowers are gorgeous! And that picture is too. Also, those are the cutest little fluffy things evar.

Glad you liked the pictures! I love sharing nifty things on the internet. :-)

As I get older and more boring, I get less inclined to go for the goth flowers and I find my attention caught by the pretty frou-frou ones.

My favourite petunias this year are red-and-white double ones, and a bright salmon pink one with a netted type decoration...

I've been finding myself attracted to cherry yellows and pinks lately, but the black (really a very dark purple) flowers were decidedly eye-catching!
